On Saturday, January the 28th, the Van Wert Robotics Club and Van Wert High School will host its third Northern Ohio First Tech Challenge Robotics Competition.
Thirty (30) teams from three (3) states, almost 300 young people, will compete with the goal of advancing to the State Championship in Columbus. The event title sponsors are the Central Insurance Company, APT Manufacturing Solutions, Ohio Northern University, Alliance Automation and General Electric. Opening ceremonies will begin at 10:15 a.m. in the High School Gymnasium and the head to head competition will begin immediately following. The event is free to the public so the community is invited to come out and support the highly successful robotics program. The tournament will last all afternoon with the awards ceremony beginning at 6:00 p.m.
For further information about the competition please contact robotics mentors Bob Spath at b_spath@vwcs.net or Zane McElroy at z_mcelroy@vwcs.net or by phone at 419.230.9581
